FFS

I was delighted to see a van just drive past emblazoned with FFS Limited - Freight Forwarding Solutions.

When I'm bored one day, I think I'll incorporate similar companies for "Logistics Management For Any Organisation" and "Warehousing, Transport, Freight".

Managing International Logistics and Freight?

I quite liked "U-Bender" plumbers

I'll keep an eye open for that one - it will make up for the logo change at Hospitality Industry Training.

Their vans now display the initials with a looped bow tie around the T, sadly replacing the original where it twined into a sinuous S-shape just in front of the H.

I have an ambition for Flying Spider Financial Services.

Apropos but not strictly related the FCA has a box ticking procedure that goes by the acronym of ONA. I pointed out an on a blog somewhere that I was pretty sure they read, that this confirmed my general opinion that they were just a bunch of onanists anyway.

Haven't heard back from them yet...

I have done a couple of bits of work at the FCA (and old FSA), and I made the same observation on ONA! Not sure many of them know the word as it happens. We also had a competition where team members tried to come up with a name for a new system for authorisations. Suggestions were put up on a large board for review. Needless to say, I stuck up half a dozen more colourful ideas... CRAP, FILTH and PAIN amongst others. Apart from my boss (thankfully), no-one else admitted to seeing the funny side...

FFS is the italian name for the Swiss federal railways. All inter-regional (i.e. intercity) trains have SBB CFF FFS on the side

I always smile when I see round my way vans with "FMe Services" written on them.

Though I think they may have realised because they are rebranding them FME.

For years there was an architectural practice called Purcell Miller Tritton, but sadly they are now simply called Purcell. Perhaps they started employing more female architects.

RT, I'm baffled. What's "FMe"?

Rich Tee said...

Maybe if I put a space in it...F Me.

"Well, F*** Me, I would never have expected that".

RT, aha, thanks. Brilliant.
